Fill out our registration form and pay the invoice.
Get a small disposable cooler ***that will not leak*** and has a handle/s. If your cooler leaks we charge a flat $175 sanitation fee for our transport vehicle.
How do I know I am getting MY placenta in the capsules?
We only process one placenta at a time, and therefore due to sanitation and safety only take a certain number of placentas per month for processing.
We also place unique identifiers at pick up, when preparing the space for processing and at the moment of completion and shipping.
These are the safest method we have found to avoid issues of confusion or cross-contamination
We can also record the processing for you, there is an additional fee for this. You get a 2-3 min unlisted YouTube video showing the start to finish of the processing.
How much experience do your Techs at Orlando Placenta have?
Our lead tech has successfully encapsulated over 800 placentas in the last 7 years of service.
I am giving birth outside of your coverage area, can you still come pick up my placenta?
Yes! In most cases, we can make accommodations to pick up your placenta. There are additional fees associated with travel, usually $1 per mile after 20 miles from our lab’s location in 32809.
You can also have a designated person meet us in Orlando.
If I have a C-section can I still encapsulate my placenta?
Do I need to talk to my midwife/doctor about getting my placenta encapsulated?
For Out of hospital Births: Yes, the midwives or their assistant need to know. They, usually, take care of packaging the placenta for pick up. The nurses/midwife need to be informed you plan on having someone pick it up.
At the hospital: The nurses need to know, the doctor is not necessary. The nurses might have you sign a waiver to take it off hospital property.
The Nurses will package the placenta for you in a small plastic container or your 1gal ziplock bag. Please don’t forget to ask them for some ice!

How many capsules will I get back?
This really depends on the size of your placenta, the method of processing(TCM, or RAW), and how many other products you have chosen to get.
The average is 120 with the raw method of processing and no other placenta-enfused products.
What if I am GBS positive?
If you are GBS positive, you CAN still have your placenta encapsulated. You will likely get antibiotics during labor to ‘protect’ your baby from this bacteria, that same protection from the antibiotics is extended to your placenta at the time of birth.
Also, the baseline temperature, 165F, we dehydrate your placenta at neutralizes 99% viruses and bacteria.
At the time of birth, what happens?
Please have your birth partner, friend, family, doula give us a call to arrange pick up.
Within our coverage area, we arrive within 2 hrs of your phone call for pick up.
Please have your designated person meet us at valet with placenta packaged in a cooler for pick up. Give them our number, and us their number as well. We will call them or you at 5 min eta. Please have your designated person meet us at valet. 🙂
How do I get my placenta TO you?
We, in most cases, will pick up for your birth location. If you are outside of our coverage area you can have a family member meet us locally for no additional travel fees.
How do I get my placenta products FROM you?
We ship them to you in 99% of cases. If you choose to have frozen or freshly made food products like our organic grass-fed bone broth, we may decide home delivery is our best option. If home delivery is suggested, there may be delivery fees associated with this service.
Can I just get the powdered form instead of capsules to add to shakes/soups etc?
Yes, you can for a 20 dollar discount when you choose the WHOLE placenta in powered form.
What is a tincture?
It’s your placenta in a high proof alcohol solution. Why? The alcohol extracts the benefits from your placenta. You get the benefits of the capsules in liquid form with no expiration date.
What is a tincture for?
Having an indefinite shelf life, the tincture saves the benefits of placenta capsules for the future.
Worried about menopause? a placenta tincture can help!
Worried about when the baby girl in your arms hits puberty? A placenta tincture can help!
How? By using those same stabilizing hormones you benefit from by taking your placenta capsules postpartum will aid in the hormonal balance in menopause or puberty with a tincture!
What is TMC?
This stands for the “Traditional Chinese Method”. With this method; we lightly steam, with water, the placenta before continuing the normal process.
What is the difference between TCM and Raw Method?
The main difference is potency and capsule amount.
The TCM method, expect lower potency and lower capsule amount, on average its about 20% less when compared to the Raw Method
Why would someone choose TCM over the Raw Method?
TCM follows the Chinese Medicine philosophy that the mother at the time of birth at the loss of blood, which is normal, losses heat and is exposed to increase risk of sickness in her postpartum, low energy, slow healing, and low milk production. By choosing the TCM, you help your body recuperate hormonal, and therefore temperature, balance by reintroducing the heat from the steaming step in the processing.
The Raw method skips the steaming and takes the placenta from very low temperatures, in some cases frozen, to cutting and dehydration. Some clients prefer this because you do not lose potency nor capsule amount.
What happens if my placenta is unavailable for encapsulation?
We will refund you all your money sans $100 for our on call time.
Just FYI there are only two reasons that would exclude or contraindicate our ability to encapsulate your placenta safely, those are:
Death of the baby or Uterine Infection called
Chorioamnionitis is an infection that can occur before labor, during labor, or after delivery. It can be acute, subacute, or chronic. Chorioamnionitis is associated with chronic lung disease in the infant.
What if I gave birth weeks/months ago? can I still encapsulate my placenta?
If your placenta was put on ice/in the fridge in the first 4 hour and then frozen within the first 24 hrs post birth, we should be able to safely process your placenta.
Would placenta capsules work for dad's?
There is no scientific studies to support its use, but there are fathers that have done it. Theoretically, there may be some benefits generally.
